Niche SEO What A Concept V 2.0
Yes, this is yet, another look down this blogs memory lane. Niche SEO What A Concept is one of the posts that I really enjoyed and I am going to take another look at today.
I have grown to really appreciate Niche SEO and the long tail keyword phrase. The reason is very simple it is very easy to obtain high results rankings when entering into niche markets. As I have often pointed out that local SEO is all about Niche Markets. When you define any product or service by a geographic location you have created a niche market. I still cringe when I see local businesses that still are using Google AdWords to drive traffic to their websites. It is usually a waste of money.
Niche Markets however, are not limited to a single geographic area. For many companies the lack of competitors in their markets define them as niche. My first large account was from a company that I had previously work for in another century. They manufactured dust collection equipment used in manufacturing processes. There is only a very small group of competitors globally for these products. Yet, after eight years their website was doing poorly in the search results.
The interesting challenge for this business was that several other markets were competing in the “dust collection” category. They were competing with direct competitors. They also were competing against vacuum cleaners and home dust collection units. This actually made this niche way more competitive than it would initially appear to be. Fortunately, none of these industries had embraced SEO yet.
As it turned out I was able to rank their site high onto the first page of the Google results for dust collection. This came as a surprise to me. I had originally told them that because of competing industries in this market that this likely would not occur. This is why I like niche markets so much. There is little competition to begin with and most of your competition will likely not be actively deploying SEO or a link building program.
What amazes me even more is that I have been able to conquer dozens of SEO related long tail keyword phrases in an industry that knows the rules and the ropes. This has in most cases been extremely easy to do. I think my brethren often rely on AdWords when they can not succeed in the search results themselves.
I known that I have recently noticed one of my direct competitors here in Tucson has begun to actively use AdWords to gain business. They can’t get business by out ranking me in our home market so they have had to depend on paid traffic. They had an opportunity in the past to outsource to me and choose another path now they pay for almost every visitor.
This is the path many businesses take when they can’t rank well and is so sad because niche markets are so easy to overcome.
Here is the originate post Niche SEO What A Concept:
We live in Tucson, Arizona, which is a website marketing backwater of sorts. Most business owners that I speak with at my many networking events have little knowledge of the services that we provide.
I ran a local SEO meet-up group but we were lucky if 5 people showed up. So it’s not easy to find a group to talk shop with. Desperate to mingle with others in the industry I traveled the 125 miles north to Phoenix to attend an SEO Meet-up group there.
It was run by a woman from New Mexico. She holds the Arizona franchise for a training academy and travels here monthly to provide training and to market herself through this group.
I was especially thrilled by what I had learned at this gathering. The focus of the meeting was to share our favorite SEO tools and website. It’s always nice to come across useful resources, especially the ones that are free.
In a private conversation after the meeting I discovered that this woman had been providing SEO services and training for seven years. Which is to say, a way long time in this industry.
I mentioned that we specialized in niche SEO and she expressed amazement at what she just heard. The concept of Niche SEO seemed about as far away as Yuma, Arizona or her native New Mexico. She explained that she had never heard of niche SEO before today. Actually, I wasn’t sure who was more surprised me or her.
Our version of niche SEO is exactly what the name implies. We offer SEO to niche industries. It’s merely a more focused approach to SEO. We simply go where the competition isn’t. After all, isn’t this what keyword search and long tails are all about? It’s about finding niches that are related to our client’s products or services that others are not using.
What say you?
